Dan Rather and his grandson, Martin Rather, joined us for a nice chat this morning. Martin is going to be a freshman at Rice University this fall, and he conceived the idea of the "Rather Prize," a $10,000 prize to be awarded in the form of a grant to the person who comes up with the best idea to improve education.

The website is www.ratherprize.org and the winner will be announced at the South by Southwest Education conference in March 2016.

Here's the interview we did with both Rathers in which we discuss the GOP candidates, the changing nature of news reporting and those darn kids these days! I had a lot of fun doing this interview.
